APC Moves To Reconcile With Ikimi, Sheriff, Others

The All Progressives Congress on Wednesday said it had started making progress in its bid to reconcile aggrieved members of the party, including ex-Foreign Affairs Minister, Chief Tom Ikimi, who claimed he was stampeded out of the race for the national chairmanship of the party at its inaugural national convention in Abuja last month. Ikimi, who had boycotted APC’s convention, accused party leaders, specifically, Asiwaju Bola Tinibu, of foisting Chief John Odigie-Oyegun on the party as its national chairman even before the convention.

He loves the people of the state; he shares their pain on the loss of the late emir.” It was gathered that the protest that greeted Sanusi’s...

Just a day after a Twitter catfight between Nicki Minaj and the pop princess, the Dark Horse singer chimed in on the row with some rather obvious retorts thrown at one of the participants. Finally confirming there is Bad Blood between the pair, the 30-year-old singer took to the microblogging site on Wednesday to seemingly slam Taylor, 25, who she has had an on-going feud with. Letting the claws out: The 30-year-old singer seemingly criticised Taylor as she wrote that the singer ‘unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman..’ The California Girls hitmaker tweeted to her 72.9million followers: ‘Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman…’ it has been rumoured for months that the leggy country singer’s latest hit single Bad Blood was directed at Katy over unreso...
